3 Reasons Why You Should Test Your Senses

1

Prevention is Easier Than Reversal: Taking proactive steps to maintain your sensory health can prevent deterioration and avoid the need for more intensive treatments later. Stop waiting years to check on your vision and hearing status - test at home to stay on top of changes and ahead of decline.

2

You’ll Be Surprised By What You Learn: Think you know the state of your sense of smell, taste, touch, vision, and hearing? Think again. 94% of SuperSenses users reported being surprised to find out about the status of at least one of their 5 senses. Changes in our senses can be subtle and easy to miss without using science-backed tests.

Your Senses Are Health Biomarkers: The five senses serve as crucial indicators of your overall health, often revealing early signs of underlying issues. Changes in sensory function can be early warning signals for conditions such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems.

Your 5 Senses Are Linked To Major Health Conditions

Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s

Loss of smell can occur up to 10 years before Alzheimer's symptoms become noticeable. This early sign is particularly significant as it provides a potential window for early intervention and diagnosis. Research has shown that the olfactory system, which includes the nose and the brain areas responsible for processing smells, is one of the first regions affected by Alzheimer's disease.

Diabetes

Diabetes

Recent studies have shown that diabetes doubles the risk of hearing loss compared to those without the condition. This increased risk is thought to be related to the impact of high blood sugar levels on the small blood vessels and nerves located in the inner ear. Over time, elevated glucose levels can cause damage to these delicate structures, leading to gradual hearing impairment.

Depression

Depression

Depression is associated with altered taste perception, often leading to changes in appetite and altered nutrition. Individuals suffering from depression may find that their sense of taste is diminished or distorted, making food less enjoyable and leading to a reduced desire to eat.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy

Up to 50% of people with diabetes risk foot ulcers and amputations due to diabetic peripheral neuropathy, but early detection can save lives and limbs. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy causes nerve damage in the feet and lower limbs, leading to a loss of sensation that makes it difficult for individuals to notice injuries or pressure sores.

Parkinsons

Parkinsons

Parkinson's patients have changes in brain responses to auditory stimuli, making it harder to understand sounds. This altered auditory processing can impact their ability to distinguish between different sounds, especially in noisy environments.

My insurance only covers an eye test every two years. With a family history of glaucoma, I don’t feel comfortable waiting that long. With SuperSenses, I can check on my eyes every six months. It’s less expensive and more convenient than begging my insurance for a doctor for a visit.

I’m immunocompromised, so every trip to the doctor poses a significant risk for me. I do most of my health testing at home - blood, hormone, and now sense testing. With SuperSenses, I can stay on top of my health without sacrificing my safety.

Both of my parents developed Alzheimer’s in their 60s, so I’m serious about avoiding the same fate. I use SuperSenses to test my sense of smell quarterly, as it’s one of the earliest warning signs of cognitive decline. This proactive approach helps me feel in control of my health.

I started using SuperSenses after noticing changes in my hearing. The at-home tests confirmed my suspicions, and I was able to go to my doctor and take action before things got worse. For anyone concerned about living a long, healthy life, at-home testing is a must.
